Does it really make that big a difference? And heres the part I dont understand.. If the bearings you have spin the spool fast enough that you have to use the magnetic braking and tighten the cast control knob any at all then what good would faster bearings do?
Thanks in advance for any help..

Billy I changed mine out to gain a little extra distance but I found that the reel was much smoother fighting the fish as well. I also found that I could throw lighter baits a longer distance when paired with the right size line. I followed the "super tuning" that was posted on another post and honestly it was a fun little project and i could see better results, I didn't notice any more backlashes but I did notice a lot more smoothness overall, I did mine 3 years ago and they still feel as smooth today as they did then and I put alot of hours on my reels.
